Is this really a fact that after you cashout the pokersite will give you a curse that will cause you bad beat. Im experiencing it right now. And it's for 2 days after I cashed out. I dont know something is just not right.. It just gives me a lot of bad beats. And the fact that they also give me ALOT of ties. Like AK vs Qrag. gives straight board. AK vs A10 gives 2 pairs on board. I dont know this is really pissing me off. Do this happen to you also?

I don't know. I've never been able to cashout because the poker sites are rigged so that winning players always lose.

I felt like this happened to me after I cashed out.

I'm not sure what to think to be honest and I haven't won much at all since.

I have to also say that, for one reason or another, my poker hasn't been as good as it was before I cashed out.

IMO, there is no curse, you are just suffering from a little thing we call variance.

Everytime I cash out, everything goes fine, I get the check in the mail but as I'm pulling the mail out of the mail box a little guy with a pokerstars beanie and a cookie basket grabs the check and runs off, so drf rigged and I agree...curses are REAL people!

its not really happening but if you go to any poker site that has a calculator and you put in the percentages for these hands... AK vs Q rag gives the oponent a 33% chance of winning the hand.. so if we are looking at 1/3 that sucks it happened to you but it does not mean its rigged....

The trouble is... that it is hard for us to comprehend if we have a 66% chance of winnning we are only going to win the hand 2/3 times... BUT the thing is when we win with AK against Qrag we dont really think about it too much... we know it should win and dont think much of it.. but when we lose we seem to stew over it and put that hand in the top of our brain and think about it a ton...

I dont know if this helps.. but this advice had helped me over the years... TRUST me i have lost a lot lot lot of hands on things that are crap... and i don't understand how they could happen to me... but they do because the percentages are not 100%... there is always a chance..

Thank you undone. Probably I only need to accept that I lost. And move on. And do things better later on.

Without sounding too patronizing, it seems that you are neglecting statistics and the flip side of the "one time" phrase. Chance and probability in poker are largely determined by statistics. The cash players that grind it out day in and day out are relying on their understanding of that to maximize their winnings. Everyone goes on heaters (win streaks) and losing streaks, but nothing lasts forever. Learn more, manage your roll, and be patient.

what?

Are you crazy? LOL there is no curse. Everyone goes on those kind of runs. It could last a week or two or just a day or two. You will come out of it though. You just have to be patient and don't get on tilt. Hang in there and continue to play solid poker and everything will change all of a sudden and before you know it you'll be on an awesome run. Cards kind of run like that. So don't worry about a curse play the same way and you'll be fine

ummm i was playing super tight cause I was right at the bubble for a tourney. Then i get aces, so i have to move in. I do and AQ UNSUITED calls me. And he hits the Q high flush. Thats like 5 percent chance or something. Pretty sick way to lose :(

SOLUTION: When you cash out dont play again until you've received your check and cashed it.

I downloaded this eBook called Pokerstars Cracked... I wouldn't be inclined to believe it but the author talks about these cycles that the site goes through, one of which being a cash out cycle in which players that take money off the site are going to get about 200 set up hands in which they are almost sure to stack off (high pocket pairs losing to sets from low PPs). I read the whole thing and it seems a little far fetched... he talks about patterns in the shuffling algorithm also but in my mind it's BS. Even though my last BR at 'stars tumbled to $0.00 after a string of statistically improbable suckouts.

I don't think the site is fixed, but at the same time I won't ever deposit at stars again. I just feel like I can't catch a break there.

Personally i never cashed out in my 2 years online and sometimes my game is affected for some bad beats (in a few days).. later i stop of play and i try to recover and all is normal, i hear sometime about if you play too much hands you can see more horrible hands, is that true?? may be.. but personally i guess is normal loose too much times :) GL
